3 Set the lighting in such a way that the appropriate

video output level is obtained at a distance of about

9.9 ft. (3 m) from the flange back adjustment chart.

If the video level is too high, use a filter or shutter.

4 Loosen the screw that secures the F.f (flange

focus) ring.

Note

Depending on the lens concerned, this ring may be

marked as the “F.b” (flange back) ring.

5 Set the zoom ring to the telephoto position either

by manual or electrical means.

What’s the difference between ASU and Reference file.

• Auto Setup(ASU): – AWB, ABB,GAMMA,FLARE and BSHD are automatically adjusted by

gray scale chart.

• Reference file: • Read the registered values are read from a reference file and are set

to a camera.

– An example of GAMMA • Reading from Reference file

– R.GAMMA MASTER.GAMMA B.GAMMA

– ＋2 0.45 －1

• After executing ASU

– R.GAMMA MASTER.GAMMA B.GAMMA

– ＋6 0.45 －3 (R/B GAMMA is automatically adjusted.)

– If you execute ASU under the actual condition and register it to the

reference file, next time you can use reference file in place of ASU.

– Note: Sony doesn’t have auto setup. They have only camera internal

process set up. HC3500 auto setup is much closer to the actual condition

than Sony’s.

Reference Signal

Genlock • Gen-lock means synchronization of multiple video

products. – In case of SD: Black burst signal is used for reference signal.

– In case of HD: Tri-level sync is mainly used for reference signal. But actually

black burst signal is used for HD products, too. Because

1. They don’t want to change the current sync generator.

2. HD/SD simulcasting system requires SD products which require black burst signal.

– Advanced sync: • The down-converted SD signal s delayed from HD signal. Advanced sync is used

to make HD signal advanced to SD signal. So if HD signal is advanced from

reference signal, down-converted SD signal timing becomes the same as SD

signal’s.

– HD(SD) Phase: You have to adjust the HD(SD) phase by CCU to get

precise timing of each product.

Advanced SYNC About HD and SD signal timing

• Advanced SYNC

– the HD signals are advanced by 90H with 60 Hz or by 75H with 50

Hz for the HTDV signals over the SDTV genlock sync signals.

– The down-converted signal is delayed from HD signal. So if HD

signal is advanced, it becomes the same as SD reference signal.

– Note: This is good for SD main studio. But 0H (No advanced

timing) system becomes more popular now. Because the studio is

changing from SD studio to HD studio.

• Setting

– SD –> HD V Phase: 0H, ADVANCE, 0H_SD_DLAY

– Vertical phase setting between SD/HD

• Select this to set the vertical phase of the HDTV output to that of the

SDTV output.

• ADVANCE : Advanced by 90H with 60 Hz or by 75H with 50 Hz

• 0H_SD_DLAY: The SDTV signals are delayed and set in-phase with

the HDTV signals.

• 0H: The return signal for a camera system is 1 fame delayed.

Color Temperature Color temperatures over 5,000K are called cool colors (blueish white), while lower

color temperatures (2,700–3,000 K) are called warm colors (yellowish white

through red).[1] This relation, however, is a psychological one in contrast to the

physical relation implied by Wien's displacement law, according to which the

spectral peak is shifted towards shorter wavelengths (resulting in a more blueish

white) for higher temperatures.
